They're definitely deeply related. For example, a lot of works get rejected over "novelty" issues. Well, if success and/or failure depend on something seemingly small then it will almost never get through review becaus

Switch back and forth between trying and reviewing. Often it can be good to just try before reviewing, to get your feet wet. Don't spend too much time. Then when reviewing you're going to understand it more. Repeat this process. B

Still a good thing to mention as lots of people think they can continue arguing and convince someone else. That always ends up in a fight. Though one strategy I've learned is I'll explicitly tell people what will change my mind. I

The HPC infrastructure is not like you're used to using. It is very high bandwidth but latency is dependent on where your data lives. There's a lot more layers that complicate things and each layer has a very different I/O sp

It's not a solution, it is a defense. A solution would not require the action in the first place. It is a shitty thing that we have to act this way and we shouldn't be complacent with our defenses. The solution is to make a world

And that's the beauty of open source and code. You can share it freely and easily. There's no thing that can be made for everyone. Maybe some irony is everyone tells me they "just care that it works". Yet it can work and

The same goes for code comments though people are much more vocal about their disdain. It's ironic given how frequent AI is used to generate docs. But docs are much better written by the person who wrote the code, the person who has al
